Israel vs Palestine isn’t really a few centuries old, more like just one. That situation was almost completely created by the British in the 20th century, during and after WWI. They had the Palestinians help to overthrow the Ottoman rulers of the area in exchange for a promise of statehood.
That’s why I preference before the countries are what they are today. Israel was only even created in 1948, but the region has had countless wars between Jewish and Muslim city-states. Most often fought with swords.
